Why? How?

Did the homeless veterans all die or were they housed? Pieces of information like this aren't helpful or meaningful as they don't give you a sense of whats actually happening.

To get homeless veterans into permanent homes, the Obama administration used a program that was created in 2008 and combines rental assistance from HUD with
case management and clinical services from the VA. Nearly 90,000 so-called HUD-VASH vouchers have been awarded, with $635 million appropriated for vouchers from 2008 to 2016.

Yes but the data lacks nuance. If all the homeless veterans killed themselves you could say vet homlessness had dropped by 100%. We need data on what caused them to stop being homeless to extract true meaning from this.
